Call for Contributions to develop the Project Authorization Request
(PAR) and Five Criteria for an IEEE 802.15 RFID Standard
Deadline: March 17, 2008
The IEEE 802 LMSC has chartered the RFID (Radio Frequency
Identification) Study Group to investigate, and potentially to develop,
a Project Authorization Request (PAR) for an RFID MAC and/or PHY
standard. The Study Group is a unit of the IEEE 802.15 Working Group for
Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN).
In conjunction with IEEE 802.15's Session #53 (March 17-20, 2008 in
Orlando, FL, USA), this Study Group will meet to hear contributions of
need and to begin writing a draft PAR and Five Criteria with intent to
submit it to IEEE 802.15 for approval in May 2008.
To gather information for the drafting of the PAR and Five Criteria, the
Study Group is calling for contributions to identify issues of
completeness and consistency in current RFID implementations which might
be addressed by a new standard or an amendment to an existing standard
and to explore applicability and modifications of existing/proposed IEEE
802.15 MAC/PHY standards for RFID systems. For the latter, contributors
should consider adaptations of the following candidates:
1. IEEE 802.15.4-2006 MAC.
2. IEEE 802.15.4-2006 PHYs (868 MHz/915 MHz bands and 2400-2483.5
MHz).
3. IEEE 802.15.4a-2007 PHYs (250-750 MHz, 2400-2483.5 MHz,
3244-4742 MHz, and 5944-10234 MHz).
4. IEEE 802.15.4c PHYs draft standard currently in development
(China frequency bands 314-316 MHz, 430-434 MHz, and 779-787 MHz).
5. IEEE 802.15.4d PHY draft standard currently in development
(Japan frequency band 950-956 MHz).
6. IEEE 802.15.4e draft standard currently in development to
enhance and add functionality to the IEEE 802.15.4-2006 MAC to a) better
support the industrial markets and b) to permit compatibility with
modifications proposed within IEEE 802.15.4c.
Of particular interest are contributions pertaining to any of
the following (or similar) topics:
* What gaps are there in current RFID standards and methods of
application and/or implementation (passive, semi-active, or active)?
* What RFID applications are the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and PHYs best
suited for?
* Are there other IEEE 802.15 MAC and PHYs that could fill gaps in
current RFID technology or frequency band availability?
* Is the adoption of one or more IEEE 802.15 standards for RFID
applications the best way to achieve spectrum coexistence between RFID
devices and other IEEE 802 wireless standard devices?
* What are the issues surrounding the use of IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and
PHYs for energy harvesting RFID and sensor applications?
Contributions will be considered non-proprietary and will be posted as
soon as possible after receipt for public access on the document section
of the 802.15 web site. Note, please use IEEE 802 document template
formats. Contributions submitted by the deadline will be addressed at
the March 17-20 IEEE 802 Plenary Session in Orlando, Florida.
